Oxford Dictionary How to apply for Student Visa Notice Board

How to Apply for Student Visa for USA ? 

International students, apart from the usually academic standards, must meet certain financial and legal requirements. Each university has its own policies, but as a general rule, the information they will want from you will relate to one of the following items:

Personal Application form: Apart from your name, address and citizenship, the Admission Office will want to know something about your background, your character, your goals and academic ambitions. After you have read the literature in guides or in catalogues sent to you by the institution, you will understand in some way, their philosophy on life and education and what kind of student they are looking for. Present yourself in a clearly-written (typewritten is best) manner, stating your background, awards, achievements, interests (academic as well as general), sports trophies, hobbies, and life objectives.

It is important to complete all the parts of the Application for Admission form. Most applications will ask you to enter your “social security number”. If you do not have a nine digit social security number assigned to you by the U.S. or Canadian government, just write “none” in the blank space after this question.

Academic Records: All U.S. colleges and universities require official records of your previous study. It is very important to read the requirements sent to you with the school’s application for admission and to supply exactly the documents required and in the form required. The North American term “transcript” refers to the official record of courses and marks from your school. It you are a first year student, you will be required to supply your secondary school transcript and sometimes, your diploma as well. Many schools will require your secondary school records or diploma even if you have completed post secondary study. Many schools require course descriptions, in English, for your post secondary courses. Most colleges and universities will only accept the post-secondary school transcripts sent directly from university-to-university without passing through student hands.

Teacher Recommendations: A good, strong recommendation will go a long way to confirm the information you will be supplying. It would be wise to get a recommendation from a teacher who knows both you and your work well, and has taught you in a subject related to your chosen major. Two or more recommendations are useful.

Essential Tests :

  • TOEFL: Test of English as a Foreign Language. Is required by a large number of institutions as part of your application package. This test can be taken in a number of countries.
  • Other Tests: SAT/AT, GRE, GMAT, MAT: Many colleges and universities require students to take the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the Achievement Tests (AT). Usually graduate students are asked to take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), and the Miller Analogies Test (MAT). Those students applying for MBA and other graduate business programs may have to take the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT).

Application Fee: This is a fee, payable in U.S. dollars to cover the cost of processing your application. Most cases this fee is not refundable.

Proof of Financial Ability: U.S. law requires schools to review evidence of your financial ability to live and study in the U.S. prior to issuing the Form I-20 or Form IAP-66 you will need to obtain a student visa and enter the U.S. to study. If you do not supply adequate documentation of financial ability, you may be denied the I-20 or IAP-66 even after meeting academic requirements and being granted admission. However, U.S. law also prohibits the issuance of the forms to students who have not been accepted for study, so your first priority is always to meet academic requirements and to send the required transcripts and diplomas.

You will be required to prove financial ability either three or four times. Always read school instructions about proving financial ability carefully and follow them as closely as possible. Always keep exact copies of financial documents you send to the school, because you must show precisely the same documents to the consular officer and the immigration inspector.

Financial Aid and Employment Opportunities :

Financial aid of any kind is very rarely available from North American colleges and universities for undergraduates other than U.S. citizens and permanent residents. When it is available and arranged in advance, income from employment with the school can form part of your proof of financial ability for issuance of Form I-20 or IAP-66, but the income must be specified on the form and supported by a letter from the school. Among the possible work programs after you enter are:

On-campus employment : F-1 students may, work on the campus of the school they are attending provided they are employed by the school itself or by an outside agency or company providing services to students on the campus. No permission is required. Students may not work more than 20 hours per week except during vacation periods. J-1 students also may work on campus but require written permission from the responsible officer who is authorized to sign Form IAP-66.

Curricular practical trainin : This is work that is part of your school’s academic program. Authorization is provided by the school’s foreign student adviser on the reverse of Form I-20 for F-1 students or in the form of an authorizing letter for J-1 students. This work may be wither part-time or full-time, depending upon the school’s program. If you use a full 12 months of full-time F-1 curricular practical training, you will not be eligible for any other practical training.

Optional practical training : There are two kinds of F-1 optional practical training, training during studies and training after studies. No more than one year of such training is permitted during your entire academic program.

Severe economic hardship employment : This kind of employment is also authorized by the immigration Service upon a foreign student adviser’s written recommendation. You are eligible after one academic year of study only if you can show that your financial situation has changed for reasons entirely beyond your control or ability to plan ( for example, death or illness of a sponsor, sudden currency devaluation, or a disaster such as war, hurricane, flood, or earthquake affecting your sponsor’s ability to send money).

There are two additional work programs: employment with a company that has certified to the U.S. government that part-time U.S. workers are not available, and work for an international organization. Both programs are very small and available only in certain parts of the U.S. F-2 and M-2 dependents are not permitted to work. J-2 dependents may apply to the Immigration Service for work permission, provided that the income will not be used to support the J-1 student, but such requests are not always granted.

After You are Accepted

The Admission Office will send you a letter that you have been accepted. At this time, they will ask you to comply with various requirements. They will ask you to confirm that you accept the offer of admittance.

Waiting List

It is possible that the university you prefer will offer to put you on their waiting list. It is advisable to accept the waiting list status, but go ahead and accept a place at a university which is second or third choice. Should your waiting list status change later on to a definite offer, you can always cancel out of your second choice university. (Be prepared, however, to lose your deposit.)

Arriving on Campus

One of the items which should be sent to you by the school should be a calendar of events. Many schools will send several separate papers describing arrangements to begin school, including placement testing, academic advisement, registration, and the first day of classes. Among these papers will be information of the orientation program or programs. Most schools offer general orientation for all students and a special separate program for foreign students. Do not miss these programs. Orientation sessions will explain how the American education system works and will usually include a segment on your rights and obligations under the immigration regulations. Do not expect anything more than general answers about term papers, assigned books, reports, or examinations. In America, these matters are decided by individual professors, not the school, and even two professors teaching the same course may assign different books.
